grracee Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 it's pouring down with rain? mine were 100% certain that they weren't going in until it got dark, stubborn girls they are!! they were soaking so i put them in about half an hour before they normally go in, not quite sure whether it's alright to leave them out in the pouring rain if they wont go in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanTheDiver Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Mine seem to love the rain, they only go in their run if the rain gets really heavy. They usually look like drowned rats by the time they go to bed, as they did tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopsie Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Mine get soaked, it's just the snow that thay hate. Very funny when it gets windy though - they come out for blow drying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ours get soaked - we used to worry about it - Mrs Chucky and me running around the field in the pouring rain with old towels - we don't do that anymore. Though the other day we had the heaviest rain we've had for ages. The ducks loved it and paddled about. The chucks all bundled into the duck house.

beulah59 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Mine take to cover and stay there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandychick Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Mine are daft and stay out - I leave it up to them, they're old enough now to know that rain is wet They do look sort of cute with spikey hair styles though. I put them in the run a bit early though, so they are warm and dry for bedtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipistrelle Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Mine are not impressed! They hide under the cube and bok sadly looking very bedraggled. Have spent the day covering as much of our runs in clear vinyl as possible P x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 they get wet then peck on the cat flap to come into the warm house. Not a chance. Now they are in the cube the run is covered with tarp which is keeping them dry. I worried about them catching colds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Our lot are pretty stupid as well. They tend to stay out in it. In their run there is a bush that they will go under and when they are free ranging there is quite a lot of cover in the garden. They still get soaked though!
